Credit crunch - what's the best supermarket own brand ketchup? (The Heinz has to go)

[MisterMist]

Any suggestions?

I am sure Heinz's is the only one without added synthetic ingredients compared to the other brands. It's why I continue to buy it.

I had to buy heinz once and the DC asked if I could get the real one the next time please , which in our house is Aldi.

M and s own brand although that has gone up in price quite considerably lately so not sure how much it compares price wise.

Sainsburys own brand. Just decant it into the Heinz bottle - they’ll never know the difference!
Same with their mayo compared to Hellman’s, which is over 4x the price!!!

Sainsburys ingredients: Water, Tomato Purée (29%), Sugar, Spirit Vinegar, Maize Starch, Salt, Spice Blend (Salt, Tomato Powder, Clove Extract), Clove Leaf Oil.

Heinz ingredients: Tomatoes (148g per 100g Tomato Ketchup), Spirit Vinegar, Sugar, Salt, Spice and Herb Extracts (contain Celery), Spice

neither of them contain synthetic ingredients.

Lidl
Or as suggested, but an own one brand and decant

*buy

Do you have a Heron near you? I bought 2 bottles of Maggi tomato ketchup today for £1. Really thick and nice tasting ketchup, it has a slight hint of spice.

Lidl one is good

ha, I've already decanted the Tesco own brand into the Heinz bottle and bought a bottle of Sainsbury's to try next.
Nobody's noticed so far!

I switched to Sainsburys ages ago and the kids and DH complained for a bit - it does taste different but we are all used to it now and no complaints at all. It is significantly cheaper

I used to think I could never have any ketchup except Heinz. I used to hate cheap ones in cafes and chippys but now we use Supermarket own brand usually Tesco and I really can't tell and the kids never complain.
I think they've really improved over the years.

I'll have to have a look for that ketchup @ColouringPencils I love Herons!

Another vote for Sainsbo's.
